What side effects may impact the skin according to the information provided?

Shortness of breath
Itching, rash, swelling, photosensitivity
Decreased white blood cells
Decreased filtering ability

The correct answer is: Itching, rash, swelling, photosensitivity

Skin-related side effects, such as itching, rash, swelling, and photosensitivity, are common manifestations of adverse reactions to certain medications. These side effects can indicate an allergic reaction or sensitivity to the medication, leading to skin irritations or issues. Shortness of breath (Choice A) is typically associated with respiratory or cardiovascular complications, not skin-related side effects. Decreased white blood cells (Choice C) can lead to a weakened immune system but does not directly impact the skin. Decreased filtering ability (Choice D) is often related to kidney or liver function and is not specifically associated with skin issues. Hence, the correct answer is B because these side effects directly impact the skin.
